He said the driver and passenger began yelling profanities at him as he drove away and merged onto Interstate 4 heading west.

Arroyo said he had almost forgotten about it until he saw the truck speed by him on the freeway, change lanes and skid to a complete stop.

"Both of the gentlemen got out of their vehicle," he said. "The gentleman who was driving actually punched me through the open window, and I was able to swerve to the right and he hit me on the left shoulder."

None of the officers said they saw what happened, and investigators with the Orlando Police Department say they haven't had any witnesses come forward.

Because of that, they have not arrested either man in the case. Instead, investigators are sending the case to the Florida State Attorney's Office for its team to determine if charges should be filed.

Arroyo's attorney, James Smith, says he has concerns about how police are handling the case.

"Perhaps the police department is so concerned about political sensitivities they're taking somewhat of a minimalist approach to this," he said. "I think they need to treat this offense just like they would treat any other offense."
